Simple synthesis of N-doped catalysts with controllable Pt–Ni nanoparticles for high-efficiency ethanol oxidation

Herein, the catalysts contained metal- and nitrogen-doped carriers were synthesized by a novel and simple method. The synthesized catalysts with different particle size and distribution were controlled by adjusting the ratio of urea and metal salt solution. The morphology, microstructure, and particle distribution of the catalysts were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. The catalytic performance of the...
